# Siftlode is mostly a private, login-gated app; only the public landing and legal
# pages are worth indexing. Allow crawling but keep bots out of the API surface.
# Share links (/watch/) are unguessable capability URLs: kept out of search indexes,
# but link-preview crawlers are allowed below so shared links unfurl in chat apps.

# Link-preview / unfurl bots — allowed to fetch /watch/ so shared links render a rich
# card (title/channel/thumbnail). They don't build a search index, so this doesn't
# expose share links to search engines.
